Let's talk skincare!

Hello Lovelies!

Today's blog post will be all about skincare. I will let you know what I'm using for my skincare routine as of right now and why. Everyone's skin is different along with their concerns. My skin is combination; meaning dryer around my cheeks and chin but I produce more oil in the t-zone. Also, my skin is extremely dehydrated but I'm not overly sensitive.

Personally, I believe that skin care is the most important part of your beauty regime.. along with a good diet. Makeup can only do so much. Your skin care plays a HUGE role in how your makeup looks, application and duration. With that being said.. here is my skincare routine.

I am currently using:

The Body Shop - Vitamin E Hydrating Toner. I apply the toner on to my Shiseido Facial cotton pads and apply this over my face and neck! This toner is hydrating and leaves my skin feeling refreshed.

Caudalie - Polyphenol C15 anti-wrinkle defense serum. I use the serum day and night, gently tapping this into my face and neck. This serum corrects and prevents wrinkles. It also blocks out free radicals! Who doesn't want that? Preventing is key.

Day cream: 
The Body Shop Vitamin C Daily SPF30 lotion. Even if the Sun may not look like it's out, you need at least a minimum of SPF20.

Night routine:
Clarins - Lotus Face Treatment Oil. This oil is recommended for an oily/combination skin type. It helps tighten pores and improves your skin texture. Using an oil will not clog your pores! I warm up the product on my hands and tap it into my skin. Do not rub it into your skin.

Philosophy - Hope In a Jar Night. This moisturizer plumbs up fine lines and evens out your skin texture. For this I continue to do the same motion by patting this into my skin. Never forget about your neck! It ages the fastest.

and yes, good old Vaseline. The reason why I use Vaseline is because it's extremely conditioning for my brows, lashes and lips. The one disclaimer I will give with using Vaseline is to be sanitary while using this.
